The citizens are generally very much
incensed over the slow progress made in
the laying of the cables for the new south
and west side roads. The nature of the
work is such as to require the taking up
of the pavement along the streets
through which the lines are to pass, and
the consequence is a serious impeachment
to traffic on those streets. 1t has been
suggested that inasmuch AS the city paid
for the putting in of the pavement, it
should not let private corporations tear
it up, and that it is time the public got
the benefit of the streets of Chicago, rs
well as the corporations. TIE cable
company, however, goes leisurely on
with its work in the face of public
clamor.

CHICAGO. ILL, July 80, 1887 The
changing of his plea from mot guilty" to
guilty, on the part of Boodler Klehm
yesterday afternoon, was as the
unexpected discharge of deadly and
destructive bombshell in the camp of the
boodlers. Next to the flight of McGari
gle it was the sensational feature of the
omnibus trial. The plea has the effect of
snatchiDg the last ray of hope from the
grasp of the rascals and to dshearten
and discourage them. 1t was decidedly
an important part Of the proceedings in
the case, too, and as soon as the fact be-
came known it spread from mouth to
mouth all over the city. Extra editions
of all the evening papers were struck off
and the news was posted on the bulletin
boards on Change and at the ball park
and racing course. Boodler Wasserman
said to the ARGUS correspondent at the
Hotel Breveort last evening:
Politics and you reporters have sent
me down to the penitentiary | have
been tried in the Chicago papers here
for nine months, and have now reached
that state of desperation when | am liable
TO do something dangerous, Reporters
had better keep shy of me from this on
and furthermore, hear that they have
arrested Van Pelt again this evening.
Now, they bad better not come after me;
for the first - - that does, | will
blow his brains out if | die for it the next
minute. | am under $4,000 bonds, and
don't propose to be molested"
So saying, Wasserman displayed
loaded revolver in proof of his determIn-
alton to carry out his threat. Those who
know him, claim he means what he says,
and that he will do something bad if
driven to it. Wasserman, with bis
brothers. run the restaurant and saloon
in connection with the Brevoort, and all
the boodlers out on bail cOngregate there
at the close of every session of court to
discuss matters. Van Pelt still continues
to be the ring leader, although he has
played hypOcrite with his friends as well
as the rascal with the public 1t is appar~
ent that the boodlers are all down in the
dumps and have made up their minds
that the penitentiary is before them, their
only regret now being that they did not
plead guilty at the outset, and save the
expense of attorneys.

Mayor Roche's plan of opening the
bridges to admit the passage OF tugs with
lake vessels is giving great satisfaction
and is a move in the interest of public
convenience and safety. Now the open
ing of the bridges is operated by tele-

fleets and all sent through IN rapid suc-
cession ut time. By this means the
bridges are opened only at stated times,
and not every few minutes whenever the
notion happens to strike the Jug owners.
Chicago is already beginning to pres
pare for the visit of President Cleveland
this fall and the indications are that he
will be entertained as eaboratelv as he
will be in St. Louis. Chicago is noted
for its hospitality and it never does any
thing by halves. The long ex-
listing rivalry between the two western
metropolis will cause an effort on the
part of each to do the occasion of PresiS
dent Clevelands visit up brown" and
despite the autumnal attractions at st
Louis during his visit, Chicago will
make his visit interesting and entertain
ing as at any place along the line of his
travels.
Catch any outsider like futile coming
in here and saying who Chicago shall ex
tend its hospitslities to- said represen>
tative citizen this morning. do you
suppose that any society coming to CHI
cago to hold a reunion would be allowed
to say just who should come to the city
at that time. We reserve that right our
selves and no such disgraceful proceed
ings as occurred in st. Louis will ever be
heard of in Chicago, Mr.. Cleveland is
coming to Chicago as the president of the
United States, and the subject of politics
will not be mentioned to him while he is

How a Woman Drinks ,soda.
Albany Express.


There is marked difference in the
manner IN which woman absorbs soda
water and the modus operandt adopted by
the average man. The latter stands up
straight, grasps the handle OF the glass
holder firmly, holds it up even with his
face, waits till the foam settles the least
trihe, inserts half of his face in the foam,
and gulps the compound down at single
draught. The womsu goes about it in o
different way. She daintily extends the
thumb and forefnger, pick" up the glass
carefully and raises it about six inches
from the counter. Then she bends her
head forward, and as she does so her lips
also bend forward until one would think
she was going to whistle. But she
doesn't. She just bends lower and
lower until she gets TO where she
can touch the edge Of the glass
with her extended lips, without wet
ting the remainder of her features. Fur
thermore, she doesn't finish the task at
the first attempt. She drinks her soda
methodicslly; the man drinks his impul-
sively, which shows that in this at least
the difference between mans way and q
wCman's is reversed.

when he came to the seat that his money
was up on he quietly deposited his bay
colored grip snd linen buster in it, and
then made his exit from the car. A bevy
of young ladies were lust then entering
